“Not only do these abominable weapons lie buried in silence and in their millions waiting to kill or maim innocent women and children; but the presence or even the fear of the presence of a single landmine can prevent the cultivation of an entire field, rob a whole village of its livelihood, place yet another obstacle on a country's road to reconstruction and development” ChildrenCountryWholeLyingWaitingSilenceMillionsFieldsDevelopmentWeaponsObstaclesInnocentVillageBuriedLivelihoodCultivationReconstructionLandmines Author:Kofi Annan
“Admittedly, I do have several bones... whole war fields full of bones, in fact... to pick with organised religion of whatever stripe. This should be seen as a critique of purely temporal agencies who have, to my mind, erected more obstacles between whatever notion of spirituality and Godhead one subscribes to than they have opened doors. To me, the difference between Godhead and the Church is the difference between Elvis and Colonel Parker... although that conjures images of God dying on the toilet, which is not what I meant at all.” ShouldMindWarWholeFactsSpiritualityDifferencesChurchDoorsDyingFieldsPicksNotionObstaclesBonesAgencyToiletsCritiqueGod ImageStripesOrganisedColonelsOpened DoorsOrganised Religion Author:Alan Moore
